Ingredients
  

2 slices of rustic sourdough bread

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

2 ounces thinly sliced salami

2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto

2 ounces smoked gouda cheese, sliced

1 ounce sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

2 tablespoons fig jam

A handful of arugula

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Spread: In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise together until well combined. Set aside.

    Layer the Base: On one slice of sourdough bread, spread a generous layer of the mustard-mayonnaise blend.

      Add the Meats: Layer the salami and prosciutto evenly over the spread, making sure to cover the edges for maximum flavor.

        Cheese It Up: Place the slices of smoked gouda on top of the meats, followed by the shredded sharp cheddar cheese.

          Spread the Sweetness: On the second slice of bread, spread the fig jam evenly.

            Add the Greens: On top of the fig jam, scatter the arugula and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

              Assemble the Sandwich: Carefully place the second slice of bread on top of the arugula, fig jam side down, to complete your sandwich.

                Grill to Perfection: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwich in the skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Press down gently with a spatula while grilling to ensure even cooking.

                  Serve & Enjoy: Remove from the skillet, allow to cool for a minute, then slice in half. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Grilled Charcuterie Sandwich Melt!
